EXCLUSIVE: As Aaron Paul prepares to take a final bow at the Emmys for his acclaimed performance on AMC’s Breaking Bad, the actor is staying in business with Breaking Bad producer Sony Pictures TV. Paul has signed a first-look deal with the studio to develop and produce new series projects. He will shepherd the projects through his newly launched production company, Lucid Road Productions. Starting a company marks the next step for Paul, who recently ventured into producing, executive producing and voicing a character in Netflix’s new animated series BoJack Horseman, which was released today, and co-executive producing the feature Hellion, which premiered at Sundance in January.

This is Paul’s fifth Emmy nomination for his role as meth-kingpin-apprentice-seeking-moral-redemption Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad for the dark drama’s final episodes. He has won two times and is again considered a top contender for Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

With the Paul deal, Sony TV is keeping all major Breaking Bad players in the fold. Creator/executive producer Vince Gilligan is under an overall deal and working on two series, including Breaking Bad offshoot Better Call Saul, and Paul’s co-star and fellow Emmy nominee Bryan Cranston also has a first-look pact. Breaking Bad has seven nominations in six Emmy categories including best drama series for Monday’s 66th Primetime Emmys.
